It is not news that indigenous language rap pioneer,Lord of Ajasa has been off the scene for a while.

                  

It would be recalled that after Lord of Ajasa’s emergence, Olamide and late Dagrin followed suit, rapping in their indigenous language. However, death took away Dagrin during his prime and all eyes have been on Olamide since then.

This made music lovers to be of the opinion that Lord of Ajasa was chased out of the game by Olamide, knowing fully well that before Dagrin and Olamide, Lord of Ajasa reigned supreme as the king of Yoruba rap.

Olamide

Reacting to reports that Olamide’s emergence made him leave the music industry, Lord of Ajasa told Nigezie recently that he and Olamide have indeed come a long a way in the industry while dismissing rumours that the young rapper has chased him and others out of the industry.

He said: ‘You don’t know the story of Olamide and I, its a long story I won’t lie to you, Olamide is my son,And let it be known, I was the first artiste to produce Olamide, back in the days at Bariga when we had nothing.’

He made it known that he and Olamide started and passed through the same label, Coded Tunes founded by ID Cabasa. With the likes of 9ice, 2phat and others at the label when he was the lead act. He also explained that Olamide is his son in the industry, adding that he produced Olamide’s first song.

Dagrin

On whether Olamide’s success forced people like him out of the industry, the rapper said:

‘I did not leave the industry for anybody; e mi ni ten basoro ni? You are talking to Lord of Ajasa, I cannot leave industry because of anybody, it’s not possible.’…
